Obama’s New Maverick-y Ad

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBtbG5xjFBY[/youtube] If I were McCain I’d back away from the word “maverick”.  It just begs to be disproved again and again and again and…

Leave Sarah Palin Alone!

Filed in National by on September 7, 2008 29 Comments

I’m serious. Leave her alone. I know she’s a liberal bloggers dream and the posts write themselves, but we (myself included) need to back off. This election is about McCain. By focusing on Palin we are taking the attention away from the top of the ticket. And I’m beginning to think that’s exactly what the […]

Did Sarah Palin do what she needed to do?

Filed in National by on September 4, 2008 118 Comments

I have no doubt that Palin’s speech last night fired up the Far, Far Right, but how did it play with the middle? And, let’s face it, this election will be determined by Independents and Moderates. So, did Palin draw them in or turn them off? She had another task last night. She had to […]

It’s Judgement, stupid

John McCain’s VP pick says more about John McCain than Sarah Palin. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFkR8zYiBw[/youtube] To paraphrase Paul Begala… As Democrats we are thrilled with the Sarah Palin pick.  As Americans we should be terrified.

The POW Card

Filed in National by on August 18, 2008 65 Comments

Can McCain answer a question without referencing his time as a prisoner of war? I’m thinkin’… No. And it seems that some of the POW cards he’s playing aren’t even his own. Other POW cards are just silly, but I’m sensing a pattern…  [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wwnrxWh3s8[/youtube] Did McCain lift passages off Wikipedia?  Who knows, but it sure looks […]

Can Pawlenty be McCain’s VP after this?

Filed in National by on August 7, 2008 4 Comments

I keep reading these comments by Pawlenty and shaking my head. Say what you will about Barack Obama,” the Minnesota Republican told a conservative group, “people gravitate when you have something positive to say.” He added that McCain has been positive as well. “People want to follow hopeful, optimistic, civil, decent leaders,” Pawlenty said in […]

McCain Attended Zero Afghanistan Hearings

Filed in National by on July 18, 2008 7 Comments

Zero? How embarrassing. It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, has attended even fewer Afghanistan-related Senate hearings over the past two years than Obama’s one. Which is a nice way of saying, McCain, R-Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Service Committee, has attended zero of his committee’s six hearings on […]

Think McCain and crew feel your pain? In an interview with the Washington Times, McCain’s top economic adviser Phil Gramm tells America to suck it up and stop complaining about the economy: “You’ve heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession,” he said, noting that growth has held up at about 1 percent despite […]

Pay attention. This is what we don’t want to do, or… All Hands on Deck

Filed in National by on July 7, 2008 19 Comments

The Republican Party is in trouble. I know this because I recognize the signs. They are acting like… well… Democrats. Conservative activists are preparing to do battle with allies of Sen. John McCain in advance of September’s Republican National Convention, hoping to prevent his views on global warming, immigration, stem cell research and campaign finance […]

I’m getting a bad feeling

Filed in National by on June 28, 2008 41 Comments

For the last few months a knot has been tightening in my stomach. The idea that Bush/Cheney will leave the White House quietly is well… absurd. I am fully expecting them to go out with a bang. How big of a bang is anyone’s guess… One big enough to tie the next President’s hands while […]
